Redwood v the BBC

The Sun isn't very happy about the Beeb's coverage of the John Redwood policy initiative on tackling red tape.

This is what its leader says this morning

THE BBC’s coverage of Tory plans for £14bn cuts in red tape and bureaucracy was a mockery of impartial journalism.
Instead of examining John Redwood’s arguments, it made a joke of them by unearthing his garbled version of the Welsh anthem from a decade ago.
The caustic bulletins could have been scripted by Labour ministers.
Mr Redwood may be a colourful character. But few can match his understanding of the way Labour and the EU have tied our economy in knots with pointless regulation.
Certainly not the BBC — a bastion of smug, self-satisfied bureaucracy which rightly stands accused by its own watchdogs of being “institutionally biased.”

I think that the paper is being a little unfair on the corporation,after all the press in general have been,not expectedly critical of both the policy and the man himself.It is,in my opinion a fair story.Showing that the Tory party are reverting to former politicains from the right to promote new policies.
